simulation

The next day a sweat covered James, who had a nightmare gets woken by a dainty foot grinding on his back while Lily tells him to wake up overly sweet.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm up." James says groaning and looks up to the girl having her hair covered in a white towel while wearing his dark blue bathrobe, the skin sticking out dripping with droplets of water.

"I made coffee. And you have a seriously great shower." Lily says, waiting for him to sit up before she drops down next to him, handing him one of the coffee cups she was holding.

"Why are you still here?" He asks, blinking his eyes a couple of times before seeing clearly and looks over to the well-endowed beauty, whose body his bathrobe does a sad job at hiding from sight, most of her thighs and legs sticking out and half her cleavage pushing open a gap in his robe, which wasn't intended to contain the mass of her sizeable breasts.

"And here I was hoping to make conversation." she replies accusingly.

"I'm sorry, how are you doing?" He changes his question with a sigh.

"Better." She says, taking a sip of coffee contently.

"Good, so why are you sitting on my couch almost naked?" He asks.

"What? As if you mind seeing me like this. Just enjoy the opportunity. I was just impressed by your high-quality bathroom." Lily replies, running a finger over his chin before standing up and going to his kitchen area, her ass almost popping out from underneath the robe, making him blush a little.

"And your bed. That's just great." Lily praises him.

"Great and all. But you're not moving in." He says leaning back into his couch.

"Are you sure? I mean having a girl around would be beneficial right? I can cook." She says.

"I can already cook." James replies dismissively.

"I can decorate this place." She says, making herself a piece of bread.

"I like it simple." He tells her.

"I'm from Rowan." She continues.

"What is going on Lily?" James asks groaning.

"Fine. I will drop it… if you let me use your bathroom whenever I want." She says smiling at him hopefully.

"Sure, whatever." He groans in acceptance and wants to lie back down, only for Lily to sit beside him again.

"Thanks, now about that bed of yours." She says.

"I'm gonna lie down now." James tells her and lies down, his head resting on her soft, barely covered thighs and she blushes embarrassed, looking down at him before noticing the teen visibly relaxing from his grumpy attitude and she strokes through his hair relaxed while having her breakfast. James actually nodded off, which doesn't surprise the blonde given his tendency to sleep all day, but he moves in his sleep, sliding a hand around her and cups her round ass with one hand, the other hand resting on her knee.

"What do you think you're doing. Are you no better than your brother Afterall?" Lily asks loudly, pulling on his ear and waking him quickly.

She gets off from the couch and he grumbles a sleepy apology before lying back down.

Lily steps out of his bedroom in her clothes from yesterday only 3 minutes later and sees him fast asleep again. She smiles at the scene and how easy he's to influence, before she leaves quietly.

Around midday James shows up at the training ground, being met with various expressions.

"Hey guys. Sorry, I overslept." James tells the group apologetically.

"So much for your constant sleeping being over with huh?" Yasmina asks teasingly.

"Wait... right, can someone look at my back?" He asks.

"I'm no expert but I know my way around sore muscles." Kai says, giving him a thumbs up.

"I don't need treatment, I just want to know what my back looks like alright?" He grumbles, pulling off his shirt, giving the group a clear view of his fit body while Kai is behind him.

"Was your brand or whatever always doing that?" Kai asks.

"Dude I can't see backwards, why do you think I asked someone to look?" James asks turning to the shorter teen, the rest of the group getting a good view of his back, where only one tail of his crocodile mark is completely lit up, and another is pulsing while the last two are black.

"One of the tails is pulsing and one is glowing. Is that supposed to happen?" Lily informs James.

"No idea." He says, turning back around and pulls his shirt down again, noticing Serena looking down guiltily.

"So, what are we doing today?" Yasmina asks cheerfully.

"How about I show you what a proper training session looks like?" Kai asks, flexing his arm.

"physical training?" Lily asks unexcited and starts arguing.

While this is going on, James pulls Serena aside.

"What was that look?" James asks her expectantly.

"Look?" She asks.

"When you saw my back." He says.

"That's because of me, right? That your energy is affected by healing me. When you healed me, I saw a crocodile pull me out of a pool of darkness." Yasmina says.

"I had nothing to do with that. With the spell you aren't supposed to notice a thing, but you're probably right about the energy. I might have used too much and am taking a while to refuel so to speak." James says thinking out loud.

"What are you talking about?" Yasmina asks curiously, coming over with Lily, the others starting to do Kai's workout routine.

"Serena just thought the tails might mean a lot of my magic is used up." He says.

"So, what's happening?" James asks, motioning to the teens doing exercises.

"Well. I was hoping you'd show us the battle simulator." Yasmina says hopefully, wrapping her arms around one of his affectionally, Lily mirroring her actions on his other arm with a pout.

"You coming?" He asks Serena after looking at both girls who`re clinging to his arms like they're competing for something.

''Yes." She says after a pause, having counted on James not speaking to her again until she has decided on what she wants to achieve.

"Come on then." He says, leading the three towards the battle simulator, which is a large white building, shaped like a hotdog, many entrances running along the side.

"This is it." James says, stopping in front of the building.

"What are you doing?" James hears the beautiful but to his dismay mirth filled voice of Miranda, the green haired teacher standing behind them, wearing a black sundress.

The students turn around, all of them wearing the suits they received for the tournament and look at her.

"Miranda. Good to see you. How about you join us and tell us how the simulator works." Lily says, pulling on the woman's hand and drags her into the building with them.

"First you need to register over there." Miranda tells them once they are inside and the three younger girls hurry off to register themselves.

"Out on a date after confessing your crush on me?" Miranda asks teasingly.

"No. I don't know what's going on. In all of the four classes I was in this didn't happen." James replies honest confusion showing in his voice, only to find two sets of breasts pressed against his arms again moments later, the girls having signed up and hurry over, Yasmina and Lily pulling Serena along to make her hurry.

"Can you let go of me please? How else am I supposed to show you how it works?" James asks his friends.

"Fine." the two say after exchanging a look.

"Alright you three, each one of these doors is their own simulation. You enter and start it with this panel." Miranda says, pressing a button, starting up a simulation of a row of training dummies once everyone is inside.

"And now you can do whatever you want. " Miranda says, punching a dummy and then shoots a water ball at it, making it go red and fall over.

While she continues to demonstrate, Lily is getting ahead of herself and presses buttons on the panel inside, choosing the preset function 'sexy' she notices in a suggested training program.

The damage inside here is not real against the illusions, but against others inside with you, you can still hurt them.

'Scanning data' the group then hears and a sensory beam runs over everyone's body.

"Lily? Seriously." James groans annoyed, going over to her and starting to reset the simulator, but it has a loading time, the preset continuing to run and seconds later all of five of them are seemingly standing in the room naked, pink and red lights moving on the ceiling slowly.

Looking down their bodies the girls realize what's going on and cover their, down to beauty mark accurate holographic body embarrassedly, before all of them turn to James curiously, getting a good view at the naked image holographically layered over him.

"I didn't do it." James says with closed eyes and crossed arms, thinking they're going to assign guilt to him, while in reality they want to check out what he's hiding under his clothes.

"You can relax now, I kept my eyes closed anyways." James tells them upon hearing "training dummy" from the computerized voice.

"Let's get out of here for now." James tells them and leaves ahead of the females, who share a look before Yasmina and Lily simultaneously say "Wow." impressed and glare at each other competitively.

"Ahem, we should continue." Miranda says coughing embarrassed and the four join James again, looking at him funnily, Lily not even trying to hide her staring at his crotch whenever he isn't looking.

"As Miranda was explaining. Friendly fire is an issue, so often people use it by themselves or make use of the group simulation option. That's a method, where everyone is in their own room, but they are linked and they are fighting with, or against holographs without taking any risk of damage." James says

"Let me guess. Sexy is mostly used for that." Lily asks knowingly.

"I'd guess so. I never had use for that training program." James answers with a shrug.

"Anyways, that are the functions. I'll leave you to it then." Miranda excuses herself, half her mind still focused on getting to stare at the impressive package of the guy she's been flirting with the past few days.

"Do you think we should get him inside and turn on sexy again?" Yasmina asks her two friends quietly, Serena staying quiet, not sure where she stands with him while Lily shakes her head.

"No." Lily says getting the feeling he wouldn't be as into it as Yasmina imagines after seeing his attitude towards his playboy brother firsthand.
